Now wait just a minute. Although Pikachu may not be right in saying these are all fake pokemon, there is something odd about one of the photos. Why is there an evolution of chespin in in the pokedex, and then a blank entry, and then what appears to be fennekin's evolution, starting with fennekin. Why is there a blank there? Is it a fourth evolution, or something else weird, or proof that the picture is fake?

The blank space IS Fennekin. This person must have traded to get Fennekin's evolution, thus not having Fennekin itself and leaving a blank space. It makes a lot of sense actually.

Yeah, I guess that's the case. If, however, that one picture is fake, then many others could also be fake. One more thing, just because I'm curious. Is trading even possible right now? I doubt many people even have the game, and is the trading system in place yet? If not, it's very strange that he would have a second starter at all.

Isn't it always after the first gym that you can trade? The first gym is never hard to beat, and the copies were sold to a lot of people in Europe and Canada, so don't be surprised.

And, it was confirmed that your rival trades you the starter that is stronger against you after the E4 and Champion. And by the way, I was wrong about Diantha, I watched a video...that proved she was Champion. It also showed the E4, and we should have according to the video:

That eliminates most doubt about the reliability of these pics, but I'm not entirely convinced yet, because, at the point of being able to trade (beating the first gym) and beating the elite four, wouldn't you have probably seen your rival's starter pokemon, in this case fennekin, in its first form? Here, you can clearly see that pokemon is missing

Or maybe the people with the starters aren't fought like they are regularly. Maybe since there are four rivals that you don't fight the one strong against you until a later point in the game.

Oh jeez, disturbing thought. About Zygarde, the one that's thought to complete the cover-trio with Xerneas and Yvetal? Well, considering they seem to be playing off of a life-death theme this generation, what if the third is... somewhere in between? As in Pokemon Z, Z for zombies. Zygarde kinda scares me... ._.

It's design looks kind of 'infectious' to me, like a virus or something. And what, it's typing was dragon/ground? Zombies, infection/virus, ground...

I really do not understand all the dislikes Delphox is getting. I mean, given the information on Braixen and the many rumors about knight/mage/ninja starters, I think Delphox turned out fantastic.

The way they made her looks very 'divine', if I can say that, like a deity, as in that she looks all-mighty and all-knowing. It is kind off the image I've had of Braixen's evolution as some kind of shrine fox. In both Japanese and Finnish folklore, foxes are thought to have magical powers, even thinking that foxes made the northern lights. I can totally see her do that.

Okay, good point, I have no proof of the existence of Zygarde, but given the circumstances, Zygarde is more likely.

Zidhoggon has had pictures as old as beginning of this year, when not a lot was known yet about the Pokemon in X and Y yet, they were just announced. From what I can tell, given the picture on DA, the maker of the first Zighoggon picture, Shoyu-Rai, said in the description:

EDIT: Seems like this picture have gotten quite some attention outside of dA too, and there is a lot of speculations about this ones type, so for those who still wonder what type it would be, it's Poison/Dragon.--So, heard about Pokemon X and Y = awesomeThere are theories at all places, and there was this theory about them being based on Norse mythology 8D Yveltal is the eagle from the tree-top off Yggdrasil and in the middle, there are those four deers, and Xerneas represent all of them because of the colored horns. I hope the theory is true, as it would mean a pokemon Z would probably come out o3o Down in the roots of the trees, are the dragon/serpent Nidhoggr, which I based Zidhoggon off. ~ The name is a mix of Z, Nidhoggr and dragon.So my attempt on what it could look like ~

But with the recent leaks, with X/Y games already sold to some people, I think there's a good chance that Zygarde is the Z Pokemon. The picture can still be false, although with present circumstances I think it is likely to be real.

I'm new to this site and thread so my opinion may not be all that valid, but I hope Chesnaught is real. I would like to use Chesnaught, Heliolisk, Auroros, Goodra, Talonflame, Absol (mega Absol) as my in-game team. If the leaks are real, from the videos and images I seen I think they should have waited another year to work on this game and released it in 2014, then pokemon bank could have been ready on or before release. They could have made better designs and added more new pokemon, less mega pokemon, and more post game stuff. But I don't really mind any of the content that has been leaked if the leaks are real. I'm 50/50 with everything I've been seeing. But I do hope Chesnaught is real, it's typing anyway
